The preparation and planting phase which has begun this month will continue until the end of January.

Presented by the Zambian National Farmers’ Union (ZNFU), and organized by DLG Agriculture Ltd. the Zambian subsidiary of the German Agricultural Society, AgriTech Expo Zambia is gearing up to once again provide a stellar platform for farmers in Zambia and the region to meet, engage and conduct business with the global agricultural industry.

Mr. Jervis Zimba, President of the Zambia National Farmers’ Union (ZNFU), said: “It is without doubt that the AgriTech Expo has stamped an indelible mark as the biggest agricultural outdoor showpiece in Zambia and has continued to endear its way into the region and beyond. It is an expo with a core mandate to forge mechanization and technological advancements among farmers with the aim of improving production, productivity and efficiency in this evolving world of discerning consumers that demand quality and proficiency. “
